Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Empress Dowager's Test

"The concubine visits the Empress Dowager." Qian Wan'er was extremely cautious when she saw the Empress Dowager for the first time. Be respectful, gestures, and dare not have a trace of courtesy.

The Empress Dowager is on the throne, flanked by Concubine Hu Xian and Princess Shunde.

The Empress Dowager said softly: "Get up." ”

Qian Wan'er said, "Yes." Qian Wan'er got up and stood sideways once, a position that neither seemed too close nor too distant.

The Empress Dowager said: "I heard that the Empress is from the Empress Dowager, do you think I am old and useless." ”

Qian Wan'er heard a sigh in her heart, and immediately knelt on the ground, and her heart turned a thousand times for a while, this thing was asked by the emperor to do this.

Will she be able to carry the emperor out?

Immediately, she gave up this idea and said honestly: "The concubines don't know how to be polite, and if they make a mistake, they ask the empress dowager to punish them." ”

The Empress Dowager sneered and said: "You are the queen of the heavenly family and the mother of the world, how can you do things so without dignity." I don't even know the order of the elders and young, and if it spreads out, it won't make the world laugh. How to be the mother of the world? Is someone slandering you, say it, and this palace will let you go. ”

Qian Wan'er bit the inside of her lip with her teeth, almost biting blood. But he still said: "It's the concubine who has lost her proportion, and I ask the empress dowager to punish her." ”

"It's hard to talk about." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, slapped on the table, the teacup on the table jumped up suddenly, crackling and dancing, almost hitting the ground, she said coldly: "I really thought you were the new queen, but I thought that this palace couldn't abolish you." ”

Qian Wan'er was already frightened at this time.

No matter how smart she is, she is just a teenage girl, where has she experienced such a battle, you must know that although the Empress Dowager is now cultivating in the harem, she only asks about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but it does not mean that the prestige of the Empress Dowager is gone, the Empress Dowager is really angry, Yang Shiqi can't resist, let alone Qian Wan'er, a mere girl.

Qian Wan'er was stunned for a while, and her brain could barely turn. But when she saw that the Empress Dowager was so angry, she became more and more afraid to say that the emperor asked her to do it.

just kowtowed and said: "It's all the concubine's fault, please calm the empress dowager's anger." ”

She didn't dare to look up, but she didn't notice a look of satisfaction flashing in the Empress Dowager's eyes.

The Empress Dowager felt that the biggest failure in her life was not anything else, that is, she asked Emperor Xuanzong to put on a table, abolish the Hu family, and set up the Sun family as the queen.

Sun can support things, as for her at such an old age, do she still worry about things in the palace?

Look at what Sun is doing. In the early Ming Dynasty, relatives did not have the privilege of knighthood.

As for the Empress Dowager's family, it was because people followed Emperor Taizong to succeed, not because of Tai

The Queen Mother became the queen before she was knighted.

And Sun's father's Hui Changbo was the first case of the Ming Dynasty being knighted for nothing.

Before Qian Wan'er and Zhu Qizhen got married, the Ministry of Rites wanted to follow the old practice and make Qian Wan'er's father an uncle, but Qian Wan'er refused.

The Empress Dowager was also very restrictive to her relatives, and the Empress Dowager was in power, and everyone in Peng Chengbo's family did not show up in the court. All idle.

After all, the Ming Dynasty restricts relatives, but there is an ancestral family law.

Empress Dowager Sun is shrewd in small things, but she can't figure out in big things.

This is also the reason why the Empress Dowager is close to Concubine Hu Xian and does not like Empress Dowager Sun. Even if Empress Dowager Sun grew up under the knees of the Empress Dowager since she was a child.

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager was choosing a concubine for Zhu Qizhen, she made up her mind that she must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

To the emperor, the Empress Dowager has been relieved. What has happened to the affairs of the outer court. She just wants to choose a good queen for Daming.

If nothing else, it can be seen from history that, in general, the emperor Dì Dū has a shorter life than the concubine. A good emperor can guarantee the heavenly family for one generation, but a good queen can protect the heavenly family for three generations.

It was precisely because she saved this idea that she wanted to give Qian Wan'er a try.

All Qian Wan'er's actions since entering the palace are in the eyes of the Queen Mother, as for who asked Qian Wan'er to see the Queen Mother first and then to see her, she is also very clear.

There is no one else but the emperor.

Because this is the habit of the emperor.

The emperor went to Kunning Palace to have dinner first, and then came to Cining Palace to talk to her. This habit has not changed much for so many years, and every morning before going to court, he also runs around the palace first, and greets him by the way. Then have breakfast, and when the sun rises, go to the court.

But what the Empress Dowager wanted was Qian Wan'er's instinctive reaction.

So as soon as Qian Wan'er came in, the Empress Dowager was thundered. It depends on the reaction of Qian Wan'er, who is extremely pressed.

And Qian Wan'er insisted that it was her own fault, but she satisfied the Queen Mother.

Whether Qian Wan'er is wise enough to see through the empress dowager's scheme, or would rather bear the empress dowager's thunderous anger than involve the emperor.

can satisfy the Queen Mother.

But the Empress Dowager didn't let go of Qian Wan'er's thoughts, and said: "Get up, you are the queen after all, you can't really abolish you, let the people of the world see the jokes of the heavenly family, it's just this one thing, someone always has to bear it, think about it, can you afford it?" ”

Qian Wan'er still wanted to say something, and said, "Niangniang," before she could say anything, she was interrupted by the Empress Dowager and said, "Go down and react well." ”

Immediately, a female official came out and said, "The queen mother, please." ”

Qian Wan'er could only bow and leave.

After Qian Wan'er left Cining Palace, how nervous she was in her heart, she still had to talk to Princess Changde

。 There is no need to mention it.

When the Empress Dowager saw Qian Wan'er gone, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help coughing twice.

Time is not forgiving, and people don't know what a terrible force aging is.

The Empress Dowager even had a seizure, and she felt very tired.

Concubine Hu Xian hurriedly served tea to the Empress Dowager, gently patted the Empress Dowager's back, and said, "Niangniang, I think this child is good, are you scaring her." ”

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea lightly and said: "It is precisely because this child is good that I have to be strict with her, I am old, I don't know how many years I can live, if the Empress Dowager is you, I can naturally rest assured." But Sun is here, and once I go, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen. I'm going to clean up the mess left by my son, and I'm going to look at Sun's affairs, and I'll have to look at her in the future. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed lightly and said: "Speaking of which, it was also because I was too used to the Sun family that I raised her crookedly, and this time I must not repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

"It's better to be harsh than to relax."

"I also want to see how she talks to Changde at this time, what to talk about?"

In the harem, the queen mother's test of the new queen is underway.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't feel it at all.

Although the Empress Dowager has given up a lot of power, even many eunuchs in the palace have leaned towards Wang Zhen. But in general, Zhu Qizhen doesn't care much about the affairs of the harem, and he doesn't ask much.

On one side is the Queen Mother, and on the other side is the Queen Mother. On one side is grandma, on the other side is the mother, no matter where Zhu Qizhen stands, it is not very good.

So Zhu Qizhen simply didn't know.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen was already in the Qianqing Palace, summoning the minister.

This time, the first one to be summoned was Belin.

summoned Belin, but because in general, Zhu Qizhen was still on marriage leave. The second is to summon the minister, although he is diligent in government, but he is a little too mean to the queen.

However, summoning Qin Tianjian can be done in the name of rewarding merit.

Anyway, choosing an auspicious day for the zodiac is also a matter for Qin Tianjian.

And many things are big things, and they need time to deal with, such as Yu Qian's talk about the signs of the locust plague in Zhili yesterday, even if the cabinet wants to form an overall plan, it will take time.

Zhu Qizhen first asked about Qin Tianjian, and in general, he had to know the bottom of his heart.

Belin didn't know Zhu Qizhen's thoughts, and summoned him on the second day of the emperor's wedding. The fate of the special predecessor Qin Tianjian is not far away, and Belin is even more worried.

The more I think about it, the more I worry. When I saw Zhu Qizhen, the whole person was sweating profusely, and I couldn't hide my panic at all.

When Zhu Qizhen saw it, he was inevitably extremely disappointed.
